³² So Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name ^[a]Reuben; for she said, “The Lord has surely ^(A)looked on my affliction. Now therefore, my husband will love me.”

^7 (A)Then we cried out to the Lord God of our fathers, and the Lord heard our voice and looked on our affliction and our labor and our oppression.

³¹ So the people ^(A)believed; and when they heard that the Lord had ^(B)visited the children of Israel and that He ^(C)had looked on their affliction, then ^(D)they bowed their heads and worshiped.

⁷ And the Lord said: ^(A)“I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry ^(B)because of their taskmasters, ^(C)for I know their ^[a]sorrows.

²⁵ “Thus the Lord has dealt with me, in the days when He looked on me, to ^(A)take away my reproach among people.”

¹² It may be that the Lord will look on ^[a]my affliction, and that the Lord will ^(A)repay me with ^(B)good for his cursing this day.”

²⁰ So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name ^[a]Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked for him from the Lord.”

¹¹ Then she ^(A)made a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if You will indeed ^(B)look on the affliction of Your maidservant and ^(C)remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and ^(D)no razor shall come upon his head.”
